She refused medical attention https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/28/skiboky-stora-accused-of-attacking-nyc-tiktoker-goes-on-unhinged-rant-in-court/ Skiboky Stora, accused of attacking NYC TikToker, goes on unhinged rant in court Skiboky Stora, the political gadfly arrested for assaulting a TikTok influencer, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday and repeatedly interrupted prosecutors to go on wild rants about being wronged. Stora, 40, who has frequently run for office, including mayor and governor, as a fringe candidate, is accused of punching TikTok influencer Halley Kate McGookin as she walked near W. 16th St. and Seventh Ave. in Chelsea at 10:20 a.m. Monday. "My rights are being violated. Can I ask a question?” Stora said the moment he faced Judge Pamela Goldsmith. "I just want to speak. I have a right to ask the judge a question. Do I have that right?” "Now they bring me here and say they have video footage of me punching somebody that I never met and have never seen,” he added. "That's denying me due process, and the same officer is a white supremacist member who has arrested me.” Assistant District Attorney Liliana Shelanski shared statements Stora allegedly made to cops after being arrested. "She's a ghost, who is my accuser? You are the one who did it, I am looking at your hand,” Shelanski told police, according to prosecutors. Stora was arrested for the assault on McGookin Wednesday by the warrant squad while he was appearing in court on prior open cases. Stora allegedly struck a man in the neck and shoulder on the corner of W. 17th St. and Eighth Ave. on Sept. 20. Then on Oct. 26 he assaulted a woman on W. 17th St., hitting her on the shoulder with his elbow, authorities charge. On Nov. 18 at E. 15th St. and Fifth Ave., Stora was tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli hostages when a woman photographed him. "The individual began shouting at her and chasing her down the street,” the criminal complaint states. "The individual followed her approximately 1.5 blocks.” The woman entered an apartment building to escape Stora but he allegedly followed her in, shouting "Die, Jew, die.” On Wednesday night, the NYPD called attention to Stora's record, branding him a "criminal recidivist.” "Your NYPD detectives were able to identify the man after he was previously arrested for similar attacks, only to be released back on our streets,” the NYPD posted on X. Shelanski requested bail "because the defendant cannot refrain from attacking strangers while he is released in public.” "Mr. Stora has never failed to make a court appearance,” countered defense lawyer Jeffrey Linehan. "Not only has he grown up here, his entire family resides in the city. Mr. Stora is a political figure, he ran for several offices just last year. "He has been targeted over the course of the last year by the arresting officer detective in a series of incidents that he describes to me as racially motivated,” added Linehan. Shelanski responded that since Stora has been arrested multiple times within the same neighborhood, the same detective has been assigned to two of his cases. Stora was ordered held on $10,000 bail. Police recovered surveillance footage of the attack on McGookin, according to prosecutors and a criminal complaint, and Stora identified himself in a still image, telling cops "Yeah, that's me walking my dog.” McGookin posted a TikTok video right after the assault, filming herself walking down a street in distress with a lump on the left side of her forehead. "I was literally just walking and a man came up and punched me in the face,” said the influencer, seemingly in shock. "Oh my God, it hurts so bad.” In what she said would be her last video about the assault, Mcgookin posted a TikTok on Wednesday showing a photo of Stora. "The man who assaulted me has been arrested,” said the influencer. "This is him.” The attack on the influencer is one of many random assaults female TikTok users in New York say they've experienced in the past few weeks. "Please make sure if this happens to you, report it to the police and try to remember as much detail as you possibly can,” said Mcgookin. On Tuesday, another woman posted a video to TikTok after being assaulted, showing a bruise under her left eye. The woman, Mikayla Toninato, posted a video Thursday afternoon saying her assailant had been arrested. "I just got a call from my detective who has been working this case, he was going to different buildings in the area to get more surveillance footage and then literally saw the man walking around the street and just arrested him,” said Toninato. Although Stora was in custody when Toninato's attacker was arrested, police are looking at several other unsolved assaults to see if Stora is responsible for those. Edited March 29 by PoisonPill

Don't count on it, he's been arrested 40+ times and is released without bail each time. Because of the press attention, this time the judge gave him a measly $10k bail. Fully expect him back on the streets terrorizing women in time for summer. 1 2

Tropez Posted March 29 Posted March 29 4 minutes ago, Archetype said: How tf is this allowed? NY bail laws that don't follow a logical pattern. This happens much to often where someone is clearly not fit to be around the public is constantly released. NY needs to fix its legal system, as there's now career criminals just walking down the street. A man was pushed to his death in the subway last week. The suspect had multiple prior arrests. A man was assaulted a month ago with a bottle on the train, the suspect also had multiple arrests. 2

The judges and DA's office are the ones releasing these violent people with no bail and a future court date that they'll never show up for. All the policework basically just gets undone right away. 2

He has 3 arrests in the past 6 months, and has "an extensive arrest record" before that. The 40 arrests number was from a different NYC serial assaulter who's also been in the news. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/women-being-punched-in-nyc-suspect
Bethenny Frankel Posted March 30 Posted March 30 unfortunately, when the whether gets warmer, stuff like this happens. there's no reason why someone with that many arrests is not in jail.
Communion Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) 25 minutes ago, PoisonPill said: I get it, you're sea lioning by focusing in on one detail. "on one detail" - it's the entire basis of your argument. That someone has been arrested 40+ times yet not in jail is the fault of (progressive) DAs & not cops. ...except he was never arrested "over 40 times". Why would you spread such a lie? Per the NYS court website, he was only arrested one previous time, in December You're arguing that the police do their job, yet the previous arrest you mention was on 12/07/23 for incidents that occurred in September & November. NYC has the largest police force in the world. Why did it take 3 months to find and arrest someone for harassment? Too much time spent in the subways? The NYC police weren't even who identified him for the incidents in September + November - he had went viral on social media for yelling racial abuse at a Jewish man. An arrest that resulted in a court appearance the next day, a order of protection for the stranger he harassed within 24 hours, and then a trial within a month. So what argument are you trying to make? What exactly do progressive DAs have to do with verbal street harassment not being a jailed-with-no-bond sentence? Why are you praising police who in both of this man's arrests quite literally did nothing and relied on social media identifying him? Edited March 30 by Communion 1
